i would have missed this if someone hadn't said look up

Boys, the key to women is timing, that's right, timing—taking advantage at the right moment, and then, afterwards, you can walk into Popeyes a hero.


There I was, with three of them, aliens, goo all over them, the air thick with goo, too, globs of goo, green, their eyes as big as the ocean is as insatiable as their kind, looking back to tell me buckle your seat belt, honey.   On a dirt road we sat, over and above, beyond, and lying underneath was the world's biggest waterbed.  

-Opps, I didn't know I was supposed to pay for parking.  

That's Malibu for you.  


They had missed the van; they groaned so loud when the sun kissed the morning that I could feel the warmth from my room as the walls shook.  Now I decided without thinking to matter of fact it and said without blinking, 

- I paid.  

Off I was staring.


I lied, the walls were rumbling late morning, when they were forced to get up and looked around them yawning.  

-Oh, thank you,  ____.  I would've gotten a ticket.  

off I was staring Straight faced.  I'd didn't think they'd buy it.  I planned to pass the time aimless and here they were for my entertainment.  


The airbag didn't deflate, the punchline where you punch them in the face with your stupid stupid jokes.  Some chill hit me like a little bug what found a needle trying to navigate its way underneath me.  For a moment I forgot just about everything but the wind, and I was a little ahead of the wind.  Why should I let these women down? 


Here they were, thinking they were with a guy who just paid for parking.  Sure I was in the backseat, but if I could fold my legs up like a pretzel then I could somehow recline and feel like a pretzel.  This is the way you climb up a mountain if you ever want to find that gold mustard, you plant a seed and you step on it why not you already got sand on your toes hey you I told you to stay away from my customers
